How do I register?
Clicking on the “Register Here” button at the bottom of this page takes you to the registration form, where you will make all your choices for sessions, activities and options. So, it makes sense to first decide which things you want to sign up for–which sessions, field trips, portfolio reviews, meal options, Super Sessions, travel insurance, etc.–before starting your registration. Note that, once you submit your registration and make your payment, you will not be able to go back and change anything. However, we realize that things change and life happens. Should you need to make any changes, email us at info@nanpa.org and we’ll do our best to accommodate you, subject to the 2023 NANPA Summit Cancellation and No Refund Policy.
What are my costs?
The Nature Photography Summit is an affordable way to gain a lot of photography knowledge and skills, network with friends and meet new ones, go out on field trips exploring the splendor of the desert southwest, and see the latest gear, workshop offerings and other useful gadgets. A variety of exciting options can be added, depending on your schedule and interests. The choices are yours!

MEAL PLAN
New this year! NANPA and the Westin La Paloma are offering a meal plan which will provide breakfast and lunch, Thursday through Saturday (that’s six meals!). Grab your meal and avoid the crowds and delays at restaurants. Take breakfast to an early morning photo shoot or dig in once you’ve returned. The meal plan gives you the flexibility a restaurant doesn’t.
Meal plan option $120.00
